When I try to open AB in Chrome (iPad), I keep getting this message

This is probably not the site that you are looking for!
You attempted to reach muk.247realmedia.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as openadstream-en1.247realmedia.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of muk.247realmedia.com.

This is the first time it's happened, any ideas?

Thanks, RR

It's one of the 842 million ad servers that AB use. They still haven't twigged that if they had a more sensible policy regarding advertising on the site, some of us might actually turn of our adblockers when visiting, and they might even gain income.

Thanks for replying rojash.

So it's not harmful? I didn't click to carry on as I was a bit concerned.
It's not harmful.
If you install adblock plus it will no longer plague you (I'll probably be shot by Ed for that suggestion).
